Shalik Restaurant & Biriyani House, Biriyani restaurant in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh
Shalik Restaurant and Biriyani House is a restaurant in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, specializing in biriyani and fresh seafood from the Bengali coastal tradition. The dining space is air-conditioned and located near Cox's Bazar International University.
The restaurant originally operated from a smaller location before moving to its current, larger premises near Dolphin Mor. The move gave it room to expand its kitchen and welcome more guests at once.
The menu features dishes like khichuri and paya halim, cooked using traditional Bengali recipes passed down through generations. These are the kinds of meals locals order for family gatherings or festive occasions.
The restaurant sits near Dolphin Mor, a well-known landmark in Cox's Bazar, making it easy to find on foot from the town center. Visiting outside peak meal times helps avoid waiting for a table in the air-conditioned sections.
Guests can pick their seafood directly from live tanks before it goes to the kitchen, which is a common practice along the Cox's Bazar coast. This also means the portion size and cooking style can often be adjusted to personal preference.
